Book Done Yet? Pulling Plot Threads Together
So we talked about pulling plot threads together in the last episode of Person of Interest, and by no coincidence at all, I’m trying to get an overview of doing the same things in Nita’s book.
I have
• Nita’s plot–to find Joey’s killer and bring him or her to justice, and
• Nick’s plot–to close the hellgate and find whoever built it and bring him or her to justice, and the
• Romance plot
I’m good with all of those starting separately, but I need to see how they’re going to dovetail. So of course, I went to Curio and did a map . . .
Of course, that’ll change, but it’s a start. The two problems I’m looking at right now are that Nita says, “no, I don’t believe you’re the Devil” for all of Act One, and that’s annoying since we know he is the Devil, and they’re apart for Act Four. For Nita, it makes perfect sense that she’d refuse to believe, but if that’s all she does, it’s flat. She has to keep denying in the face of proof, and that makes her dumb. So cogitating on that one. I think I can make Act Four work even if they’re apart: it’s short. Other than those two things, I think it’s going to work.
Of course I don’t have the subplots in there yet . . .
